A desperate couple had to design "reborn baby" doll to look just like
them. Instead of being delivered in a hospital, Baby George was
delivered by a postie. Family and friends watched excitedly as he was
unwrapped. The parents, Crystal and Terry dote on the lifelike doll so
much they spent £250 on Christmas presents for him and took him in his
pram to meet Santa.
Seeing herself and her hubby reflected in his face so perfectly means
the world to Crystal, who contacted the doll artist after being told it
was unlikely she could ever have children.
The 24-year-old told the Sunday People: “He looked just like the picture
the artist sent us, I could see he had my eyes and Terry’s nose. George
looked exactly how I always imagined my baby would. “I’d spent my adult
life dreaming of being a mum, imagining what my baby would look like.
When we got together in 2008 I told Terry my hopes of having a family
and he said he couldn’t wait to be a dad. It was all we wanted.”
Two years later the couple began trying for a baby. Nothing happened so
in 2013 they turned to doctors. She recalled: “My doctor explained I
had a condition which meant my body didn’t make eggs. It was impossible
for me to get pregnant naturally.
Crystal and Terry paid £350 and sent the artist images of themselves,
then waited for their baby. When George arrived in October last year,
Crystal and Terry, 34, held an opening ceremony at their home in Ealing,
West London, sharing the moment with family and friends in a Facebook
video.
Next year the proud parents plan to take delivery of a reborn baby sister for George – and they can’t wait to grow their family.
